3rd Investec Test Match - England v West Indies - Lords

[jakarta]

Anderson opens the bowling but it is less than 15 minutes to Pointless, get in there Jimmy...

 

[Pavilionaire]

I've got a sneaking suspicion Broad could come to the party here.

 

[Simster]

Anderson takes #500


Windies now 6/1

500 Test Wickets

At present, there seems little reason why he can't go on for another couple. Make it happen Burnley Express.

 

[Beach Hut]

21/2

Loved the look and Bairstow's face - sure he said something like 'haha, he's actually reviewing it' or similar as he grinned

Well done Jimmy - 500 test wickets is unbelievable for a fast bowler.

Good old Blowers, he thought Broad had bowled him, vintage stuff in his final Test...

He was talking about this earlier (albeit in relation to spin bowling) - how the macular degeneration he's got in his eyes has made it increasingly difficult for him to distinguish what's actually happened. He was also lamenting the lack of buses now visible from commentary boxes......................

 

[Beach Hut]

69/3 501 up for Jimmy

 

[Beach Hut]

No reviews left, both wasted

Then enjoyed a fantastic afternoon, Jimmy's #500
And sunshine
And left after 7.30

Love test cricket

Certainly was. Did literally the same as this.

Smashing day!

Game in the balance after some very ordinary bowling by England, late yesterday. They had them reeling at 21-2 but failed to tighten the grip. Broad and TRJ the main culprits. Broad's arm is dropping slightly. Don't know whether it is age or fatigue. Both too wayward and too many half volleys.
Bad drop by Stokes as well. A second quick wicket would have had them in tatters. Cannot afford to chase more than 100, second knock.

502 for Jimmy, Chase caught 94/4

 

[Beach Hut]

Blackwood snaffled, 503 for Jimmy 100/5 lead of 29
